Never ending function

Today, I had a Clojure quiz for myself. How to write a function that print out a number and return a function that will print out an incremented number and return out a function with the same behavior again and again, never end.

For those who are familiar with Clojure might find it easy but for me it took a while and I couldn't solve it so I decided to start solving it with Ruby first.

This is my solution.

	pi = ->x = 0 do
	puts x
	->{ pi[x + 1] }
	end
	# result
	> pi[][][][][][][]
	0
	1
	2
	3
	4
	5
	6

After that it was way more easier to port it to Clojure.

	(defn pi
	([] (pi 0))
	([x] (println x) #(pi (+ x 1))))
	; result
	=> (((((((pi)))))))
	0
	1
	2
	3
	4
	5
	6
